Hi everyone. Obviously I am new here, and hope to gain some insight. I've been getting serious about photography, and now seemed to be hooked after about 6 months with a Kodak Z1485 IS, and now have a Canon T2i with a couple of different lenses. I plan on moving up to a 7D or 5D Mark II with some pro "L" series lens in the near future after I get more experience with my T2i.

Photo taken on 11-10-2010 in Detroit on what I though was a great time for a B & W photo of these tracks.

Very nice photos. I too use a Canon T2i but don't really plan on changeing for some time as I'm still feeling mostly overwhelmed with what I have now. I'll trade you a train and a butterfly and I'll be getting the better of the deal.

I like the train tracks in the fog to bad a train wasn't coming with it's headlight dimly hidden by the fog. But very nice photograph.

Thanks. I love fall colors in Michigan as well, but not partial to winters either. Been to Florida a couple of times many years ago. Nice pics, and I like the engine shot especially since I grew up in the muscle car era and owned a couple of monsters back then. Peace...

Thanks. I appreciate that very much. I love night shots, especially when it is wet out. The light reflections can be stunning.
